Moriah Peters – “You Carry Me” (Devotional)

It was 2:17 AM and my eyes are swollen from crying in my bunk on a tour bus, my spirit felt like crushed glass and I was emotionally exhausted. Perhaps IΓÇÖm the only one who’s ever felt that way, but I doubt it. Think back to a time in your life where you were hurt, disappointed, wronged, or disrespected.

Moriah Peters – “Waterfall” (Devotional)

People often ask me about the word, ΓÇ£purity.ΓÇ¥ Since getting married, IΓÇÖve realized that unless weΓÇÖve dissected the word, ΓÇ£graceΓÇ¥ first, weΓÇÖre wasting our breath.

LetΓÇÖs take a moment to consider the word, ΓÇ£persecuted,ΓÇ¥ shall we? When I read this word, I skim over it, thinking, ΓÇ£Persecution doesnΓÇÖt happen in America as it does in other countries.ΓÇ¥ Yes, that is true.

We cannot discard this word from our vocabulary simply because we are not being physically persecuted in the United States.

Moriah Peters – “O Fear” (Devotional)

Fear is a funny thing ΓÇô or at least itΓÇÖs something weΓÇÖve be trained to take lightly. Scary movies, roller coasters and prank TV shows all prey on our worst nightmares. As much as I love a good thrill, IΓÇÖve realized that thereΓÇÖs a thin line between entertaining apprehension and crippling anxiety. This may come as news to some of us, but submitting to fear is a sin.
